>Also note that the article is written by a guy in the UK who is hired for seasonal warehouse work. Yeah, not to sound insensitive but those jobs suck by design. There's no pleasant warehouse job. Its backbreaking work, requires covering for those who called off so others get extra shifts, seasonal surges, etc. Work like that is a decade or two from being fully automated because its relatively simple and terrible dehumanizing work. The white collar work won't be replaced by machines, unless strong HAL-like AI is around the bend, and its pretty obvious its not. They also have a higher barrier to entry and are very desirable, so people are rightfully outraged to hear how poorly devs and sysadmins are treated at Amazon.
